OT Security Engineer
We are seeking an OT Security Engineer to help protect industrial control systems, operational technology environments and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. In this role, you will work closely with engineering, operations, IT and risk teams to strengthen the security of plant-floor networks, industrial assets and connected systems while supporting safe, reliable and compliant operations. You will contribute to the development and continual improvement of OT security standards, architecture, processes and technical controls across a complex and highly regulated environment.
Your responsibilities will include assessing OT networks and systems for vulnerabilities, reviewing security configurations, supporting risk assessments and coordinating remediation activities. You will help maintain asset inventories, network diagrams, segmentation designs and security documentation, while monitoring relevant alerts, investigating incidents and supporting containment and recovery activities. You will also participate in threat modelling, security testing, change reviews and project assessments for new or upgraded control systems. The role will involve collaborating with external suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure that security requirements are understood and embedded throughout the system lifecycle. Where appropriate, you will support audits and demonstrate alignment with recognised standards and frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001 or applicable regulatory requirements.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in OT, ICS, SCADA, DCS or industrial network security, together with a sound understanding of networking, firewalls, remote access, endpoint protection, vulnerability management and incident response. Experience working in operational environments where availability, safety and controlled change are essential is highly desirable. You should be confident translating technical risks for both specialist and non-specialist audiences, able to work independently and comfortable coordinating activity across multiple teams. Relevant qualifications or certifications in cybersecurity, industrial control systems or networking are beneficial. A methodical approach, strong communication skills and a commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
